Danish oysters have not yet been eaten, and various media have begun to routinely eat melon masses again
Recently, the title of the network similar to "Australian salmon flood no one eats, fishermen sell cheaply as lobster bait, where did Chinese foodies go" brushed the network, causing countless Chinese media to reprint. "According to the Australian radio and television station ABC, Western Australia has a beautiful bay called 'Parry Beach', and every autumn in Australia, that is, in April and May, it can attract up to 3,000 tons of "Australian wild salmon" to rest and spawn. Without your hands, the sea will send a large number of salmon to the beach, but the local fishermen are upset, because these wild salmon Australians don't eat it at all! ”
The original ABC article quoted in the Chinese article is abc.net.au
These white, tender and lively fish are the famous 'Australian wild salmon's wild salmon', but local chefs only cook farmed salmon and can't do anything about this game. Because fish smell heavier, Australians won't do it at all! In the end, fishermen can only sell these salmon at a low price equivalent to 2.5 yuan / kg to make lobster bait, and the three thousand tons of fresh fish every year are wasted, and the Australian people are really too ignorant of the goods. ”

The end of the online article is of course an appeal to the vast number of Chinese foodies to save the Australian people in the depths of the water, so that China's five thousand years of cooking skills to nourish that land, frying, frying, stewing, frying, steaming, stewing, smoking, roasting, there is no difficult species that can not be solved! So, those who went to Dubai as beggars, then went to Africa to open mines, then went to Ukraine to marry a daughter-in-law, went to Denmark last month to eat oysters, and now the masses who are nibbling on crabs in Cuba have a new journey? Is the kind of fish mentioned in the net really wild salmon? Don't rip it off, of course not!

▐ The so-called "Australian salmon" is just a kind of "sea bass"
In short, the supposedly flooded "Australian salmon" is not the "salmon" in the Chinese context at all. Salmon are salmonids, and the so-called "Australian salmon" here is actually a common name for several fish species under the genus Arripis. Except for the fact that the English common name contains the word "salmon", they have nothing to do with what we usually call salmon.

The "Australian salmon family" generally lives in the waters around Australia and New Zealand, because they look like salmon and herring, and the early European immigrants named them "Australian salmon" and "Australian herring" with nostalgia and laziness, but they have nothing to do with salmon and herring in the northern hemisphere. Fish species under the genus Arripis usually include four species, namely:
Arripis truttaceus is commonly known as Western Australian salmon
Arripis trutta is commonly known as Eastern Australian salmon
Arripis georgianus is commonly known as Australian herring
Arripis xylabion Paulin is commonly known as Northern kahawai
Among them, there are two kinds of "salmon" in the common name: commonly known as "Western Australian salmon" (A. truttaceus) and "East Australian salmon" (A. trutta), according to the location description of the net text, the so-called "Australian wild salmon" refers to the former, Chinese common name is generally called "trout-shaped Australian perch" or "trout perch". Commonly known as "Australian herring" refers to (A. georgianus), it is called herring because of its small size, generally no more than 40 cm in length.

A. truttaceus and A. trutta are surface fish that often swim in groups on the surface of the sea, feeding on plankton, crustaceans, and copepods. They are a common species caught by local Australian fishermen, anglers and New Zealand Maori, and the Parry Beach bay mentioned in the article is also loved by anglers. They are also the target of commercial fishing for silver snapper, mullet, mackerel, yellow-banded trifolium and other fish. A.trutta, also known as "Kahawai" in Māori, is used to describe how they jump out of the water when they are captured.

Although "Australian salmon" is somewhat similar to the appearance of salmon, it is actually two very different kinds of fish, which are actually quite easy to distinguish through pictures.

Atlantic salmon quickly became an important fishing product in northern Europe, and in the early 20th century their demand rose year by year, and countries such as Norway began to cultivate them in captivity, and they were exported to the world with the power of capital and the desire to conquer the world. In the 1970s, farmed Atlantic salmon landed in Hong Kong and was transliterated as "salmon" by Sindayad according to the Cantonese pronunciation in English. In the early 1990s, atlantic salmon, which was promoted by the Norwegian Seafood and Foreign Trade Agency, was used as the official trade name. Therefore, "salmon" first refers to (farmed) Atlantic salmon.
